🐲 JOYFUL Fantasy for the entire planet 🐲
🌟 expanding hearts and activating inner soul starmaps 🌟
We are creating an entirely new literary genre of exhilarating stories of magic that are suspenseful and exciting without trashing your nervous system.
Instead these stories NOURISH your nervous system and your heart!
High stakes fantasy without the usual dark tropes, these stories are great for all ages.
We think this new genre should be called JOYFUL FANTASY!
Vibrant characters moving through exciting and high stakes plots that are uplifting instead of anxiety creating.
The newer fiction categories of "cozy" and "sweet" are creating some progress, but they tend to sometimes be a bit ho hum or treacly. It's time we expanded beyond Hallmark level artistry.
Big Stories in The Wild is a publishing and multimedia project from Melanie Gillespie designed to evolve the global cultural paradigm of stories used for entertainment to align with the current evolutionary leap of humanity into an expansive and light-filled species in which the unique essence of each being is celebrated and connected across the globe and throughout the cosmos.

It's pretty wild out there in the world these days...
Curl up for a magical escape with this beautiful and exquisite coming of age fantasy story set in a world exactly like ours.... in fact, it IS our world, just with more of the magic layers revealed!
Bring some of the magic back with you into your own world...
:::
Neli's whole life is turned upside down on her 11th birthday when a mysterious stranger arrives to take her to her planned new home and school for the next level of her magic training.
The only problem is, she's never heard of this plan, has never had any magical experiences or training, and has never even been to school, magic or otherwise... it must all be some huge mistake, right?
Magical delights abound as a young girl discovers the truth about her family and herself in this thrilling and heart expanding fantasy novel.
Join Neli on her journey to discover who she really is as new magical abilities pop up more and more while she settles into the first place she's ever truly felt at home with new friends and family, including a talking cat (who may not even be a cat!) and dream visions of dragons.
Things really get wild when she meets Grey, a boy who has been creating a new graphic novel from his own dreams... and the girl he has been drawing turns out to be Neli!
She goes from no school to trying to navigate two schools when she starts Ariadrum school (in the mundane world) and magical school at The Sairinolmé in... the dragon realm?!
Soon she discovers she may be the child referenced in an ancient prophecy along with the eleven other children studying magic with her!

"I didn't want it to end, but it was super satisfying the way she did end it."
"I LOVE that she didn't leave us on a cliffhanger but I still can't wait for more books in this series!"
"Kinda like if everyone in Harry Potter was on mushrooms...🤣"
